Tires NITTO or Firestone

I also really like Winterforce tires. again far less expensive but great tread and can be studded if you want.

Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's seem to be the best budget performance tires.

After looking into it a bit I went with a set of Firestone Indy500s that mounted and balanced came out to less than $800. Had them for 6 months now, and no complaints so far.

As far as Indycar goes, it is hard to find a more prestigious tire company than Firestone. They have been a good partner to the Series for a long time.

The owners and drivers didn't want to ditch Firestone because their tires don't fail and they never have to worry about safety.

I run the nt555r2’s, worth every penny. Night and day difference in traction.

I have been running a set of Firestone Winterforce 2 UV 235/65R17 on my 4Motion Tiguan for the past two winters. They have been a great winter tire for me. Really great in the snow and I have had no issues on dry pavement while interstate cruising at 80mph.

I also live in Vegas, just had Firestone Firehawk Indy 500’s put on a month ago and have 0 complaints

Versatility is not a benefit if the rain tire or dry tire is suitable in the conditions, because they could just run that tire.

Not the same vehicle, but, on my truck (2wd, V8, manual), I installed Winterforce 2 tires, and while I haven't driven in any snow with them yet, on wet or dry pavement, they are horrible. Not much traction at all, even if I try to drive "carefully."
